If you follow fantasy football at all, then you're probably aware that "Tags" passed […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Out Against Patriots

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder, hand) did not travel to New England and will not play during the Sunday Night Football clash against the Patriots. Paul sat out in Week 3 as well, although he did practice fully on Friday, which would suggest he could make it back for the Week 5 contest […]

Cameron Brate May See Increased Role Moving Forward

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate could be in line for an expanded role on Sunday night against the Patriots and moving forward. Brate, who totaled 282 yards and two touchdowns last season, played a season-high 45 percent of the snaps while hauling in four of five targets for 35 yards last week. He […]

Rob Gronkowski Could Miss Multiple Weeks With Fractured Ribs

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) is dealing with fractured ribs, an injury that could sideline him for multiple weeks. Gronkowski had X-rays come back negative earlier in the week, but a CT scan revealed multiple fractured ribs- leaving his status for the next couple of games in doubt. The veteran tight end […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

As good as football has been this young season, the game is also laughable. The league wants these referees to call these ticky-tacky penalties. On the winning touchdown drive for the Chargers, they had a 4th-and-9 from the Chiefs 35 when Justin Herbert's pass was incomplete. But of course, a pass interference was called. It […]

Kenny Golladay - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Even with Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard questionable to play in this one, the outlook for Golladay doesn't get any better considering he will likely be seeing a lot of Marshon Lattimore in this game. Golladay hasn't been used as a deep threat all that often to start his tenure with the Giants, which is surprising considering that is […]

Damien Harris - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Harris struggled on the ground in Week 3 against the Saints as he finished with just six carries for 14 yards. Look away fantasy managers, because he could be in for a performance reminiscent of this one for a second consecutive week. When you think of nightmare matchups for a running back, the Tampa Bay […]

Robby Anderson - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Trevon Diggs has been great for the Cowboys so far in 2021 and could shadow D.J. Moore in this matchup. Even if Diggs doesn't shadow Moore, he will likely cover Moore on more than 50% of the routes he runs. Robby Anderson should avoid Diggs for most of the day and see coverage from Jourdan Lewis and […]

Terry McLaurin - Week 4 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Falcons defense has been getting absolutely torched by opposing wide receivers so far this season with the exception of Week 3, which was a bit of an anomaly because Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton both got hurt leaving the Giants short-handed. Terry McLaurin was slowed by a nasty matchup against Tre'Davious White in Week […]

Bold Predictions for Week 4

Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like excrement at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]

Week 4 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman will be active on Sunday night against the New England Patriots after having a good week of practice with his new team.

Giovani Bernard Ruled Out For Sunday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Giovani Bernard (knee) will be out for the Sunday night game against the New England Patriots in Week 4. Bernard suffered a minor MCL sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he might only need to miss this one […]

Smart Dynasty Early-Season Stashes

It would be easy to forget about waivers in dynasty leagues. Most of the promising young players are already rostered and some dynasty leagues are deep enough that there isn't anybody worth scooping up unless you want to take a flier on Kerryon Johnson becoming relevant again. Even for teams in win-now mode, there are […]

Rob Gronkowski Won't Miss Sunday Night Game

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, there is no way that Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) will miss the Sunday night game against his former team, the New England Patriots, in Week 4. Although Gronk didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday, his ribs aren't considered a major concern after X-rays came back […]

Rob Gronkowski At Practice Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) was spotted at Friday's practice, per Greg Auman of The Athletic. Gronkowski was just stretching and wasn't in pads, suggesting that he'll go down as a limited participant on Friday's practice report. If so, the veteran tight end would likely be tagged as questionable for Sunday night's […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 4 (10/3/2021) - Spreads, Totals, and Moneylines

What a disgusting Week 3, as I went 0-3. The Lions made a late-minute push and if they would've tried to score a touchdown instead of playing it safe by kicking a field goal, they would have easily hit the team total. Washington got absolutely demolished by Buffalo and the Bucs and Rams went toe […]
